That's the car. Who built the coachwork?

Jarvis of Wimbledon was the trade name of their Morris/MG dealership, but it seems their coachwork department simply operated under their corporate name, Jarvis & Sons, Ltd.

Sorry, it's not by Jarvis of Wimbledon (despite what you might read on the internet)

That's the one. Unfortunately online sources don't seem to differentiate between the two Jarvis companies, which were not connnected in any way. The car survives, I believe, and for many years was dumped in a front garden in Surrey. It might well still be there...
